Show Off Your Home Screens Day!

We have been receiving lots of requests to host a “Show Off Your Screens Day!” lately. So, let’s do this. Many of you have been upgrading phones, buying tablets then pimping them out, so we know you have some awesome designs you want to share with the community. If you’re more into the stock feel, these posts will also help inspire you and show you everything your Android device is capable of.

For those new to this ongoing segment of ours, these are the simple rules:

1. Take a screen shot of as many of your screenshots as you’d like.
2. Upload them to your favorite image hosting site.
3. Paste the direct image URLs in the comments. (Image URLs ending in .gif or .jpg or .png)
4. Then be sure to list out your setup (apps, wallpapers, icon set, etc.)

I use Trey Ratcliff pictures, HD Widgets on my Galaxy Nexus. I like it clean and simple, with BB.

Been flipping back and forth between these two screens.

I’m going with the Pie single-screen setup for now too. I modified the wallpaper though to fit more of what I need.

What is the circular widget you are using?

BestonMars

The two lines on the inside are a clock widget from UCCW. The rest is all part of the wallpaper.

I love this

Can you post an image of your background with the circular widget? Loving your set up and wanting to replicate it.

GOOOOO BIIIIIIG REEEEEED!

Mason Lammers

Heard that!

Here is the wallpaper that I used. Also if you want to replicate it, I would use this link. This guy laid it out very nicely on how to do it, and provided links to download everything for UCCW and what not. The lockscreen is really nice that accompanies the setup as well.

This is by far the best one posted today. Very clean and elegant, well done. Do you post on JustReveal? If not, you definitely should.

Thank you. I don’t post on JustReveal, but I’m familiar with the work of most of the authors. I didn’t know I can join that blog, I’ll definitely look into it.

here is mine with my additional google now type icons in the shot…super functional for me, minimalistic widgets, aokp m1, nova launcher, gtasks widget, some hidden icons on the sides and what not, just set the icons to full transparent

Most of the words on the screen show the widgets (Amazon MP3, Pandora, Retro Camera, etc.). Wife opens a direct message shortcut to my wife.

Shortcut that just says “Wife” cracks me up. Is that shortcut to call her or her contact?

Good stuff.

Man these types of threads make me feel old-fashioned.. I still rock the same setup since my HTC G-1 days… 3 home screens, and use launchers everywhere instead of shortcuts/icons. HAvent used any sort of dock in my launchers etc either since using the Gnex.

I’m like you. 4 home screens packed with Widgets, apps and folders. These threads always make me feel so boring.

functionality > beauty

IMHO… I use wave launcher, AOKP navbar mods + lockscreen mods + Google now launch mods etc + circle launcher…. I am all about accessing everything with just one thumb… I don’t like fumbling through my screens or using crazy gestures!

For the clock and date widget i used ‘Minimal Text’ app w/ the Roboto Thin font, you can find here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/roboto
Minimal Text has a learning curve to it, but once you understand it, it’s super easy.

I have you to thank for introducing me to Circle Launcher. Like tons of other awesome Droid related matters, I had never even heard of it before you mentioned it a while ago here at DL. I’ve used/loved it ever since. Thanks for the heads up!

Home button opens the drawer. Also the plus sign in the top right has links to folders with my favorites, social, camera/images stuff, and files. I have some gestures setup to open Google Now, tasks, and agenda. Clicking the time in the top left will open alarms, and clicking the date will open calendar.

So it looks really simple, but I can get to anything I need in very little time and few taps.

I guess I’m the only one who doesn’t understand why you need them labeled like that. The icon seems self sufficient imo.

Very clean; love it!

Is that Phone/Message/Email built into CM10, Apex or is it a widget?

Well the words, icons, and thin lines are actually on the wallpaper, then I have Desktop Visualizer widgets on top of them that use a clear .png as its image.
